So why are Bongo necks satin finished, anyway?

Crisco will do in a pinch if no bacon is handy.

So, Crisco is always handy?

It is since you left your tub of it at my house, Jason. By the way, I need new sheets. These are now a fire hazard.

Painted necks are a no-no in my book.

I've seen a few threads here and about where folk get their 'knickers in a twist' about the painted neck on the Bongo in particular.

In my experience with the Bongo the paint finish has no 'stiction' associated with it at all.

Blindfolded I'd be hard pushed to tell the difference in 'slideability' between the Bongo's, my Sterling or any other of my 7 basses.

Oh and one more on the way, a new Tobias Pro 4 with malfunctioning electrics for £100

It'll be sorted courtesy of either EMG or Bartolini.

The "WD" in WD-40 stands for "water dispersant" and is not healthy for wood. It does have lubricant properties but is made mostly of petroleum distillates. Use a dedicated product specifically for guitar neck applications to make sure you don't do damage.

I'll jump right down from the geek box after mentioning that I think the "D" is for "displacement". It was initially created to prevent corrosion.

I just rub it a bit, and boom. . ! Back to happy again!

Yes, wood get's happy when you rub it....

It's not my fault you're clumsy, Ben.

Boy, howdy!

Too abrasive?

Melts the finish . . . . it's based on a solvent . . . .

wd40 is no bueno

I thought this was just joking around.

Let me just say that this is one of the worst ideas I've heard lately, but I am morbidly curious about what that does to the neck of that bass.

It ain't as bad as WD39, but it's close.

You have enough Bongos to give it a try

I'm in Mississippi right now, or yeah, sure, I'd lather up my Flaming Biff Bongo and report right back.

I think you should just call those folks that know

This post makes me wonder what happened to the folks who tested Preparations A-G.
